Item 7.01              Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On May 14, 2008, Fluor Corporation announced that it had signed a contract with Scottish and Southern Energy (“SSE”) to design and construct the 500 megawatt Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm.  The Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm Project has been developed by a 50:50 joint venture between Fluor International Limited and Airtricity Holdings (UK) Limited (a subsidiary of SSE). Having successfully completed the development phase and signed the construction contract, Fluor also announced that it has sold its 50 percent stake in Greater Gabbard Offshore Winds Ltd. to Airtricity for approximately $80 million (£40 million).  A copy of the press release making this announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Fluor also announced on May 14, 2008 that it had increased its full year guidance for 2008 Earnings Per Share by $0.35 to a range of $6.60 to $6.90 per share, to include the one-time gain related to the completion of the sale to Airtricity.  This compares to guidance of $6.25 to $6.55 per share, issued on May 12, 2008, which included approximately $0.15 per share of initial cash proceeds received earlier in the quarter.  A copy of the press release making this announcement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
